Here's one reference post (OEM 19-inch wheels) -

green and white dot = revised COUPE springs damn it I got jacked ! that was a waste of money and a lot of work for nothing. Weird the front springs came with these rear springs which have 2 red dots on the rears

I've just bought a used set of 350z suspension from an 05 model (springs and struts) with only 10,000kms. My questions is..should I just fit the springs on my stock struts or should I replace the whole 350z setup in my sedan..seeing as my stock struts have done more than 30,000ks. Any pros and cons in doing so? Mine is an 05 sedan.

From what I've read and understand, there are only pros since you bought the complete setup.

1. Your stock rear shocks will not hold up to the spring rates of the revised 350z springs.

2. No spring compressor needed to swap the stuff out making installation much easier.

3. It's a factory matched set. Not that it probably really matters...

I have an 05 sedan and I am about to do this also!

I agree with the wind deflectors..it wasn't by choice, came with the car..I have removed the ugly chrome door protectors too over the weekend. Wind deflectors coming off soon.

I know they put a different motor in the 07 Z, but is the suspension the same? I am asking because I have a line on 07 Z springs and want to make sure they will work.

Hope someone can help me out here:
2006 G35x on OEM suspension
Looking to drop around an inch around - what should I be using?

Can I use Z springs alone or do I need the struts/shocks with it?
Revised or Unrevised?

No, not exactly. Springs share the same spring rate of 314 lbs/inch. Read these two posts starting here:
